Power down your PC your way

WinExit is a free system utility program that allows you to easily turn off your computer at specific times. Developed by Jacek Pazera, this handy lightweight tool offers different settings for turning off your PC, just like how your operating system would, and gives you a timer to set up the action you want. It also has other cool features that give you more in-depth control over the Power button.

Small but powerful

WinExit is that type of tool that only has one purpose but, it does it really well. At its core, it lets you shut down, restart, sleep, and hibernate your PC at a specified date and time. You can even set it to perform the chosen action after the time you want—it will display a notification 30 seconds beforehand. The program can also block the PC from waking up while it’s in Sleep or Hibernate mode.  

There are six actions to choose from: Power Off, Restart, Sleep, Hibernate, Lock, and Log Out. When you click “Start”, it will still have a countdown timer so you can cancel if you want. This can be set directly on the main menu with a checkbox for the option. Alternatively, you can choose to have this tool perform the selected action at a specific moment, and enter in a date and time. 

What’s great about this software is that it’s portable and its EXE file can be copied to another PC to bypass installation on that machine. It doesn’t use your system registry and all of its settings are saved in an INI file in its folder. Additionally, it has built-in multi-language support based on INI files with UTF-8 encoding. It’s only too bad that you can’t set up any recurring or multiple actions.

Take it with you

All in all, WinExit is a great little utility to use if you’d like more options regarding scheduled actions. While you can’t create any repeating instances, the number of configurations you can do with how your PC shuts down is quite satisfying. This is a great recommendation for a PC power-off program and you can even place it on external drives to be used on other computers.
